jab mai pakistani thee
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

mai apny ghar ke rani thee jab mai pakistani thee
paas ik mali ik bawrachan our ik nokraani the
her hukem pooora hota maera bethy betaye kaam hota mera
driver be moyasser tha , bas gaari thori porani thee
mai apny ghar ke rani thee jab mai pakistani thee

anar kali ke shoping , chahy dhool thee wahan mitti thee
bhao be apna,lungi made in usa , yehi sada lagani thee
na jewlry na karpy her sheh bas imported mangwani thee
haye mai apny ghar ke rani thee jab mai pakistani thee

rishwat ho sifarsh ho bas ik phon ke ghanti bajani thee
matric mai top kia,khuch khas nai bas wakif apni usatani thee
sarkari afser ke bv bankar bas dolat hi lutaani the
eid ho ya basant rut her ik mastaani theee
mai apny ghar ke rani thee jab mai pakistani thee

bary shok se amrica ayee kia pata yehin thoker khani thee
na mali tha na bawarchan thee koi nokraani thee
ab is haal mai des ke yaad tou aaani thee
kapry dhouna khana pakana ab tou yehi raam kahani thee
haye mai apny ghar ke raani thee jab mai pakistani thee.
